StingTalk is always good for a chuckle: “We should be getting great press about how there were over 2000 people huddled under the eaves for an off season scrimmage in the middle of a 45 degree torrential downpour, which was the actual truth. That’s a positive trajectory for Tech sports.” Bless your heart.

Michael Elkon wonders how the mix of special admissions for college athletes, increased athletic demands on those same kids and the “scholarship ought to be compensation enough” concept can be sustained.

Are we near the point where large number of students attend the Institute yet primarily support other college sports teams? It doesn’t seem impossible for there to be students earning their degrees from Tech who are nonetheless huge fans of Georgia football.

Don’t a majority of Tech students already have an attitude of “Just here for the engineering degree”? I wouldn’t be surprised to find there are Tech graduates who buy UGA season tickets.

If you happen to check back and see this, I’m not an engineer although I have known a few. I had a good friend from high school go to Tech, and although I took calculus in high school, after the first 3 weeks of his freshman year I could no longer understand what he was learning. I would make a really bad engineer. I think of them as both necessary and obnoxious.

My handle simply comes from the cartoon/joke “On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.”

Not unusual to see the words “unionization” and “absolutely miserable lives” closely linked. The CFB fans will be the ones miserable but the conmen live well ever after. And future players will pay the price just like those looking for manufacturing jobs now in once thriving communities, the sport will crumble. Unions are not about “fair votes”, note the Leftists’ latest intimidation tactic to require open ballot voting in union voting. Did Stalin do that first?

Considering they haven’t even properly broken ground on it, and the estimated opening is 2017, I have my doubts they could get the Stankonia Dome ready for a 2018 bowl game. “Atlanta” + “on time construction” doesn’t happen together often, and neither does “stadium” + “on time construction”.
